Quentin tarantino

Quentin Tarantino
Quentin Tarantino is an American filmmaker and actor known for directing critically acclaimed and influential movies such as Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and The Hateful Eight. Pulp Fiction, one of Tarantino's most famous films, is a 1994 neo-noir crime comedy that stars Tarantino and has grossed over $213 million. The documentary discusses Tarantino's background and career highlights, inspiration as a director, and some interesting facts about his films.
The films of Quentin Tarantino
Quentin Tarantino is an influential American film director known for his unique style that combines elements from various film genres. Some key aspects of his style include nonlinear storytelling, extensive dialogue, violence, profanity, pop culture references, and music. Two of his most famous and controversial films are Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, which feature intense violence, strong language, and depictions of drug use. While praised for their originality, Tarantino's films have also received criticism for their graphic content.
Narrative Theory
Narrative theory proposes that stories follow a typical structure of five stages: 1) equilibrium, 2) disruption, 3) recognition, 4) repair, and 5) restoration, though not necessarily in that order. Levi Strauss's concept of binary opposites suggests concepts are understood through their opposites, like heroes and villains. Roland Barthes introduced the idea of an "enigma code" where the audience tries to solve a puzzle presented by the storyline along with the protagonist.
Transgender (Gakugei Cafeteria English Lunch Series)
At a McDonald's in US, transgender woman (sex: male / gendar identity: female) tried to use women's rest room, and beaten by two (non-transgender) females. Some customers were looking at it and laughing, and a McDonald's employee was videotaping and uploaded it onto YouTube. (This employee was fired.)
This trouble shows us the fact of discrimination for transgenders. On the other hand, it may be not acceptable for non-transgender women that "man wearing female clothes" come into women's restroom. This also suggests difficulties to co-exist with different values.
Through this problem, let's think and discuss about sexual minority.
Note that I wrote this slide when I still don't have enough knowledge about sexuality related issues, so this slide may have a lot of wrong information.
On P2, "Sexual Minorities (LGBT)" is described as "People who have different sexual orientation from others" but this doesn't include transes.
Intersex is described as "People who are biologically male and female" but it may lead misunderstanding. See California Univ. Berkeley's definition: http://geneq.berkeley.edu/lgbt_resources_definiton_of_terms#intersex
On P3, Transgender is defined as "Women who think themselves as men / Men who think themselves as women" but it can be descriminative or rude expression for trans people.

Eval 2
The combination of the filmmaker's short film and ancillary texts like film reviews and posters were important to tie them together and make the short film have more impact. The texts provided context about the build up and aftermath of the film. Key symbols like a clock were featured in both the film and poster to represent the main theme of time. Consistent visual elements and a plain backdrop in both the film and texts kept the focus on the protagonist and his story. Similar colors and effects were used in both to connect the pieces.
Eval 1
The document discusses a student's short documentary film project about their 90-year-old grandfather. To follow documentary conventions, the film tells a story through a series of photographs and video clips showing the progression of the grandfather's life. Scenes of him speaking in his armchair used natural lighting and an uncluttered background. Opening and closing shots of a cuckoo clock symbolized the passing of time. Post-production effects on the clock made it more appealing and eye-catching. Overall, the film creates a unique, creative story that develops over time and highlights key life moments from the perspective of a 90-year-old man to attract and involve the audience.
Music video idea
The video would have a dark, desaturated style to create a depressing mood. It would show the two artists standing alone on different dark roads, with the camera panning in for close-ups of their bloody faces as they sing. The camera would do 360 pans between the roads, revealing the artists arguing with the same woman or walking alone down the roads, with extreme close-ups emphasizing their frustration and singing of the lyrics. Ultimately, the roads would converge, with the woman at their intersection.
Video idea weeknd -Amad Islam
The video would have a dark, desaturated look to create a depressing mood. Scenes would include long shots of the artists standing alone on dark roads, then close-ups of their bloody faces as they sing. The camera would track them as they walk and sing. It would also show one artist arguing with a woman, then pan to the other artist with the same woman, implying disloyalty. Throughout, the camera work would transition between the artists in different locations to tell the story through their perspectives and movements as they sing the dark lyrics.
The weeknd feat ed sheeran Dark Times Lyric Analysis (Amad Islam)
Ed Sheeran describes waking up bruised and hungover, having drunk too much the night before and gotten into a fight. He warns that this isn't the right time to fall in love with him, as he knows his lies can't be believed. Both Ed Sheeran and The Weeknd reference their past struggles with drugs, alcohol, and unstable lifestyles before fame. They acknowledge issues they are still trying to overcome that could undermine their success if not addressed. The Weeknd recalls using cocaine, getting into fights, and choosing a life of substance abuse and chaos.
The weeknd lyric analysis By Amad Islam
The song "High for This" by The Weeknd describes a sexual encounter where he mentally prepares a woman for what is about to happen. He tells her they will have sex and do drugs together, reassuring her that she doesn't need to worry because he will be with her. As the drugs take effect, he tells her to breathe and relax while promising they will have a good time. He eliminates any doubts by saying to trust him as he knows she wants to experience this feeling.
Imvdb
The document analyzes research from IMVDb on music charts and popular music videos. It finds that the target audience prefers hip-hop and pop genres, especially recent pop videos by artists like Sia, David Guetta, and Rudimental. This research will help decide which genre of music to focus on going forward.

Beyonce - dance for you
This music video portrays Beyoncé dancing seductively for her male love interest in a 1940s style setting. Voyeurism is prominently featured through close-ups of the intimate dancing and longing gazes between Beyoncé and the man. The video follows the conventions of R&B by including a choreographed dance routine to promote the artist. It depicts a stereotypical power dynamic between the male boss and female secretary but aims to empower women through Beyoncé's display of control through her dancing.
British board of film classication (bbfc)
The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) regulates films and videos in the UK. It is a non-governmental organization that provides age ratings to films such as U, PG, 12A, 15, and 18. The BBFC recognizes adult freedom of choice, protects the public (especially children) from harmful content, and helps parents make informed viewing choices for their children. The document then provides detailed descriptions of the content allowed or implied for each age rating.
3 different ways of classifying audiences
The document discusses two methods for categorizing audiences: Young and Rubicam's Four Consumers model and socio-economic class. Young and Rubicam divides people into four categories based on personality - Mainstreamers, Aspirers, Succeeders, and Reformers. The socio-economic model classifies people into six classes based on income - A through E. Both are useful for media targeting, but the socio-economic model is limited as it only considers income and not other factors like leisure activities.

Vector images are resolution-independent and scalable without quality loss, using mathematical expressions to represent lines and shapes. Bitmap images are made up of pixels that lose quality when resized. The document provides examples of how vector and bitmap images differ when resized, and discusses image capturing, output methods for print and screen, storage considerations like file size and organization, and naming conventions.

Focus Group - 4018
The document outlines questions from a focus group about a film trailer. It asks for opinions on whether the trailer was effective and enjoyable, what genre it represents, how it could be improved, and favorite parts. It explains that the filmmaker created a focus group of 12 friends and family to get feedback on the trailer by showing it and having them answer questions. Most feedback suggested making the trailer look less like a drama and more realistic.
Audience Research - 4018
Audience research is conducted to gather information about what audiences want to watch and their personalities. There are several methods for conducting audience research, including focus groups, questionnaires, box office takings, and test screenings. Focus groups involve interviewing a small group of people to discuss their opinions in an interactive setting, but the results may not represent the larger population. Questionnaires can be inexpensive and gather a lot of data quickly from many people, but responses may be biased by wording and response rates may be low. Box office takings refer to the financial success of a film based on the number of viewers and money made, which depends on the quality of the movie. Test screenings allow audiences to provide feedback on a movie before
